Abstract: A toothbrush that facilitates brushing even by individuals with limited manipulative dexterity includes a handle, a head mechanically coupled to the handle, and an array of bristles secured to the head and extending outwardly therefrom in a plurality of directions, such that, when the head and the array of bristles are viewed in cross-section, the bristles occupy a first sector of a circular area that is greater than sixty (60) degrees, but less than or equal to two hundred forty (240) degrees of the circular area, and wherein the remaining at least one hundred twenty (120) degrees of the circular area is devoid of any bristles. Such attachment of the bristles increases the likelihood that the teeth will be brushed properly irrespective of the orientation of the head in the mouth, while also reducing the likelihood that sensitive areas of the mouth will likewise be brushed. In another embodiment, the toothbrush includes a head, an array of bristles extending outwardly from the head, and a substantially C-shaped handle mechanically coupled to the head. The C-shape of the handle enables the handle to be easily grasped by users, while also facilitating improved maneuverability of the toothbrush, providing over-insertion protection, and being amenable to caregiver assistance.

Abstract: Electroactive polymers that are pre-strained to improve conversion from electrical to mechanical energy are disclosed. When a voltage is applied to electrodes contacting a pre-strained polymer, the polymer deflects. This deflection may be used to do mechanical work. The pre-strain improves the mechanical response of an electroactive polymer. Furthermore, actuators including an electroactive polymer and mechanical coupling to convert deflection of the polymer into mechanical work are disclosed. Compliant electrodes that conform to the shape of a polymer are also disclosed. Methods for fabricating electromechanical devices including one or more electroactive polymers are provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a wireless home automation system having controllers for controlling a broad variety of functions via two-way communication with a plurality of devices. More specifically, the invention relates to sharing information related to the system between controllers, e.g. by updating a second controller with the newly learned information of a first controller, or by replicating a controller by making a second controller a complete copy of a first controller. The information can be shared by generating and transmitting, with a first controller, a list of device identifiers of devices controlled by the first controller to a second controller. The list is received by the second controller and stored in a memory of the second controller dedicated to store device identifiers of devices controlled by the second controller. This function proves advantageous when new controllers are introduced or if a controller is lost, worn out, or destroyed.

Abstract: A dual band patch antenna (700) comprises a conventional patch conductor (106) having a resonant circuit (702, 704) connected between the patch conductor and a ground conductor (102). The resonant circuit (702, 704) modifies the behavior of the antenna (700) in the vicinity of its resonant frequency, thereby providing a dual band antenna in which both bands can be used simultaneously. The total radiating bandwidth of the dual band antenna is significantly greater than that of an equivalent antenna having no resonant circuits. Additional resonant circuits can be employed to provide a multi-band antenna.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method, a module and an algorithm for allocating radio resources to a plurality of radio bearers in a wireless communications network. In order to improve the allocation of resources, first the current activity status 21,22 is determined for each radio bearer and/or for each set of radio bearers of at least a selected group of radio bearers and/or of sets of radio bearers. Then, based on the probability p,q with which each radio bearer and/or set of selected group will change its current activity status 21,22, a value is determined which is indicative of the probability of outage. Finally, it is decided based on a comparison of the determined value indicative of the probability of outage with a predetermined threshold value whether the current allocation of radio resources will be changed. The invention equally relates to a wireless access network comprising a corresponding module.

Abstract: A communications network determines for itself its own network topology, that is, the identity and interconnection of nodes comprising the network. The network comprises a plurality of nodes each having at least one port. The ports are interconnected in accordance with the network topology in which communication traffic is conveyed over the network via the interconnected ports. Each port is arranged to transmit first information within the communication traffic including the identity of the port (Section trace identity) from which the communication traffic originates. Second information is transmitted between nodes identifying which first information identity relates to which node and which port. A processor is operative for determining for each node from the first and second information the identity of adjacent nodes and the identity of the ports to which its ports are connected.

Abstract: Each synchronous flow (i=1, 2 . . . , N<SUB>s</SUB>) is associated to a respective synchronous capacity value (H<SUB>i</SUB>) that is related the period of time for which a synchronous flow can be serviced before the server moves on. This value can be selected either according to a local allocation criteria or according to a global allocation criteria. Each asynchronous flow (i=1, 2, . . . , N<SUB>A</SUB>) s is associated to a respective first value indicating the delay to be made up so that the respective queues has the right to be serviced and to another value indicating the instant in which the server visited the respective queue associated to a synchronous flow (h) is then serviced for a period of time that is related to be aforesaid synchronous capacity value, while each queue associated to an asynchronous flow (i) is serviced only if the server's visit occurs before the expected moment. The server's visit ( 10 ) to the synchronous queues should preferably take place during two successive cycles in order to optimise the use of the resources available.

Abstract: Assembly to build continuous reinforcement cords at the mold, for a vehicle pneumatic tire, has a hollow oscillating arm with a guide to lay the cord in succession, with synchronized end pressers. The assembly to build a continuous reinforcement cord (4) into a pneumatic tire carcass has a guide (6) for the cord to slide freely. An arm (31) oscillates with a movement around the geometric rotation axis (31R), and the end of the arm which carries the guide at the other end is a beak (31T) turned inwards. A control sets the arm oscillations, so that the guide follows a cyclic path in a reciprocating movement to place the reinforcement cord in successive lies. Press units (2G,2D) are near the ends of each laying path the hold the reinforcement cord in place at the mold (1), with pressing actions which are synchronized with the movements of the reinforcement cord guide.

Abstract: A coating formulation for application to surfaces associated with combustion, such as fuel injectors, and surfaces subjected to elevated temperatures, such as fuel supply components, to prevent the deposition at high temperatures of carbon or graphite on such surfaces, such as stainless steel and alloyed steel compositions. The coating formulation forms a thin layer of polymer coating on the surface by chemical grafting involving the use of a graft initiator to create active bonding sites, on the metal surface, for the silicone-based prepolymer to undergo polymerization on the metal surface. The bonding and polymerization are completed in a single application process without using complex equipment. The coating and process helps surfaces associated with combustion and surfaces subjected to elevated temperature reduce carbon or coke formation at temperatures up to 700 DEG F and thereby improves the durability and performance of those surfaces.
